In their turn, Rochdale perform in England’s League One, showing unconvincing football there. “The Dale” sits now on the last position in the table with only 26 points taken after 30 encounters played. The team’s offense looks remarkably weak and pale, having scored just 29 goals, however, its defense is a complete disaster as it has conceded 41 goals so far. The side knocked out Bromley, Slough, Doncaster and Millwall on the previous stages of the FA Cup. In the latest tackles conducted on the road Rochdale have lost to Wigan 0:1, Bristol Rovers 2:3 and deserved 1:0 victory over Northampton.
Rochdale saved their first-leg game against Tottenham on the last minutes of the fight, having earned 2:2 draw. However, at this point “The Spurs” are unlikely to give any chance to their upcoming opponent, no matter how motivated Rochdale might be as hosts have much higher football level, thus, the visitors will be knocked out from the tournament but it will be a decent failure.
Prediction for the match: Rochdale to win with +3.0 Asian handicap.
